To celebrate the ninth year of the FREE family carnival benefit, “Mardi Gras for Autism,” Fullerton Cares launched a $9 pledge to help 9 students campaign on March 1, 2019.

Fullerton Cares has launched the $9 pledge, which will help assist nine students with autism and their peers with and without autism in the Fullerton classrooms. The money will go towards the unique sensory garden, sensory zones and sensory room experiences created and supported by our Fullerton Cares practitioners and educators!

Inclusion is the act for all people to be included in a group or activity and an effort Fullerton Cares is deeply dedicated to.

Said Board Director and Occupational Therapist Summer Houser, “We are proud of what we are able to do to support inclusion in the classroom and the community including through our sensory experiences. Through this campaign, perhaps we can serve even more of our student population.”
